1974 Rolls Royce Corniche S1 For Sale
She is finished in Seychelles blue, with light blue interior and dark blue piping. This Corniche also benefits from lambs wool over carpets, and an extensive service history. The car has been lovingly maintained and includes two service books that are stamped 15 times up to 62, 446 miles in March 2014, with a further service at 67, 000 miles at a Rolls Royce specialist 'Royce'. Also included is the Rolls Royce hardback instruction book belonging to the car and a bespoke fitted car cover with the Rolls Royce logo.
She benefits from the desirable Harvey Bailey Handling kit, which enables her to handle far better than a standard car at higher speeds.
There are numerous supporting invoices and previous MOT's with servicing being carried out by respected specialists including Specialist Cars South West, Prestige Car Care (Devon), NRT Motors and Royce of Surrey. Under previous ownership, Nick Terry of NRT Motors carried out an overhaul resulting in the following:
new propshaft,
new brake spheres,
new front suspension mountings,
new engine mountings,
new exhaust mountings,
new radiator core,
new gearbox oil cooler pipes,
new power steering hoses.
On acquiring the car which was of a very high standard, i sought to improve it further by instructing additional works on the engine, all carried out by Royce. I purchased the car from a BMW Dealer Principal which he owned as his personal car. The Corniche was added to my collection and i enjoyed her thoroughly throughout this time. Having only added 600 miles over 2. 5 years, i have decided to sell her and other cars within my collection as i am not getting the opportunity to enjoy them as much they deserve.
Over her life, the car has had a lady owner who possessed her for 18 years before changing hands. Thereafter the car was in the hands of an owner who carried out a stern to stern overhaul to sort out any niggles. This included a new propshaft; new front brake discs and pads; new brake spheres; new front suspension mountings; new engine mountings; new exhaust mountings; new radiator core; new gearbox oil cooler pipes; new power steering hoses; re-gassed air conditioning and four new Avon tyres at a cost of almost £9, 000. Once acquired from the BMW Dealer Principal, I submitted her for a schedule 'C' service & inspection to manufacturers specification. Additionally, a hydraulic systems pressure test and a few other niggles were remedied.
She is not completely without fault however, as there is some bubbling under the drivers offside window.
Taken from a previous auctioneers review of this Corniche prior to my ownership:
"Earlier in its life the car had been fitted with a Harvey Bailey handling kit, a well-known upgrade which transforms the driving experience and means that this weighty coupe can be hustled down the lanes with remarkable alacrity. The combination of effortless thrust and sure-footed poise is so rewarding that it has to be experienced to be fully appreciated. Indeed it proved so intoxicating that we were most reluctant to hand back the keys, our enthusiasm being fully endorsed by Nick Terry who agreed that it was one of the best-driving Corniches he had ever experienced.
Having spent quite some time under the car, he also affirmed that it was as good underneath as it was up top, commenting that it combined the elegant looks of the early slim-bumper model with the handling prowess of the later cars, also bringing to our attention the rev counter in the dash, an option rarely specified on any Rolls-Royce but a welcome addition for the keen driver. At the risk of sounding like a sycophantic period road tester, it is hard to convey just how special this car feels to drive or be driven in and we can honestly say that the pictures do not do it justice - the elegance of its lines, the opulence of its mellowed interior and the silken nature of its progress combining to produce a feel-good factor that modern cars can only dream of.
Complete with all its original handbooks, the aforementioned history file and an MOT valid until April 2017 with no advisories recorded, this is about as good as motoring gets. If only auctioneers got paid more…"
This car is terrific to drive and it will be sad to see her go.
